It follows a group of researchers who spend a week in the former home of a <a href="/wiki/Sadistic_personality_disorder" title="Sadistic personality disorder">sadist</a> and murderer, where previous paranormal investigators were inexplicably killed. Its screenplay was written by American author <a href="/wiki/Richard_Matheson" title="Richard Matheson">Richard Matheson</a>, based upon his 1971 novel <i><a href="/wiki/Hell_House_(novel)" title="Hell House (novel)">Hell House</a></i>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Legend_of_Hell_House&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Plot"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Physicist Dr. Lionel Barrett is enlisted by eccentric millionaire Rudolph Deutsch to undertake an investigation on the <a href="/wiki/Afterlife" title="Afterlife">afterlife</a> at Belasco House, the "Mount Everest of haunted houses". The house was originally owned by Emeric Belasco, an imposing, perverted millionaire and supposed murderer, who disappeared soon after a massacre occurred at the home. The house is believed to be haunted by the victims of Belasco's twisted and sadistic desires. </p><p>Accompanying Barrett are his wife, Ann, as well as two <a href="/wiki/Mediumship" title="Mediumship">mediums</a>: mental medium and <a href="/wiki/Spiritualism_(religious_movement)" class="mw-redirect" title="Spiritualism (religious movement)">spiritualist</a> minister Florence Tanner and physical medium Benjamin Franklin "Ben" Fischer, who is the only survivor of an investigation conducted 20 years before. The group arrive to begin their investigation a week before <a href="/wiki/Christmas_Eve" title="Christmas Eve">Christmas Eve</a>. The rationalist Barrett is rudely skeptical of Florence Tanner's belief in "surviving personalities", spirits which haunt the physical world, and he asserts that there is nothing but unfocused <a href="/wiki/Electromagnetism" title="Electromagnetism">electromagnetic</a> energy in the house. Barrett brings a machine he has developed, which he believes will rid the house of this energy. Though not a physical medium, Tanner begins to manifest physical phenomena inside the house. When, after a quarrel with her, Barrett is attacked by invisible forces, he suspects that Tanner may be using the house's energy against him. Meanwhile, Fischer remains aloof, with his mind closed to the house's influence, and is only there to collect the generous paycheck. </p><p>Ann is subjected to erotic visions late at night, which seem linked to her lackluster sex life. She goes downstairs and, in an apparent trance, disrobes and demands sex from Fischer. He strikes her, snapping her out of the trance, and she returns to herself, horrified and ashamed. A second incident occurs a day or so later after she has become drunk. Her husband arrives a moment later to witness her advances to Fischer. He is resentful, and spurns Fischer's warnings that the house is affecting Ann. Stricken by the accusation, Fischer drops his psychic shields, but he is immediately attacked. </p><p>Tanner is convinced that one of the "surviving personalities" in the home is Daniel, Belasco's tormented son, and she is determined to prove it at all costs. She finds a human skeleton chained behind a wall. Believing it to be Daniel, she and Fischer bury the body outside and she performs a funeral. Nevertheless, Daniel's "personality" continues to haunt her; she is scratched violently by a possessed cat. Barrett suspects that Tanner is mutilating herself. In an attempt to put Daniel to rest, she gives herself to the entity sexually, but the entity brutalizes her and possesses her body. </p><p>Barrett's machine is assembled. Possessed by the <a href="/wiki/Malevolent_spirit" class="mw-redirect" title="Malevolent spirit">malevolent spirit</a>, Tanner attempts to destroy it, thinking that it will harm the spirits in the house, but she is prevented from doing serious damage. She enters the chapel, "the unholy heart" of the house, in an attempt to warn the spirits, but she is crushed by a falling <a href="/wiki/Crucifix" title="Crucifix">crucifix</a>. As she dies, she leaves a symbol written in her own blood. Barrett activates his machine, which seems to be effective. Fischer wanders the house afterwards, attempting to sense psychic energy; in astonishment, he declares the place "completely clear!" But violent psychic activity soon resumes, and Barrett is killed. </p><p>Fischer decides to confront the house, and Ann accompanies him despite her misgivings. Deciphering Tanner's dying clue, Fischer deduces that Belasco is the sole entity haunting the house, masquerading as many. He taunts Belasco, declaring him a "son of a whore", and that he was no "roaring giant", but instead more likely a "funny little dried-up bastard" who fooled everyone about his alleged height. Even as objects begin to hurl themselves at Fischer, he continues to defy the entity, and insults Belasco's physical stature. At that, all becomes still. Fischer then concentrates, and a stained-glass partition in the chapel shatters, revealing a hidden door. </p><p>Fischer and Ann discover a lead-lined room, containing Belasco's preserved body seated in a chair. Pulling out a pocket knife, Fischer rips open Belasco's trouser leg, discovering his final secret: a pair of prosthetic legs. Fischer realises that Belasco had had his own stunted legs amputated, and that he had used the prosthetics with which they were replaced in a grotesque attempt to appear imposing. Belasco also had the specially built room lined with lead, presaging the discovery of the electromagnetic nature of life after death. </p><p>With the room now open, Fischer activates Barrett's machine a second time, and he and Ann leave the house, hoping that Barrett and Florence will guide Belasco to the afterlife without fear. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Legend_of_Hell_House&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Pamela_Franklin" title="Pamela Franklin">Pamela Franklin</a> as Florence Tanner</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Roddy_McDowall" title="Roddy McDowall">Roddy McDowall</a> as Benjamin Franklin Fischer</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Clive_Revill" title="Clive Revill">Clive Revill</a> as Dr. Lionel Barrett</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Gayle_Hunnicutt" title="Gayle Hunnicutt">Gayle Hunnicutt</a> as Ann Barrett</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Roland_Culver" title="Roland Culver">Roland Culver</a> as Rudolph Deutsch</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Peter_Bowles" title="Peter Bowles">Peter Bowles</a> as Hanley</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Michael_Gough" title="Michael Gough">Michael Gough</a> as Emeric Belasco (uncredited)</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Legend_of_Hell_House&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Development">Development</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Legend_of_Hell_House&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Production began on 23 October 1972. <i>The Legend of Hell House</i> is one of only two productions of <a href="/wiki/James_H._Nicholson" title="James H.
